Topic: LinuxMCE on raspberry pi (Read 10272 times)

I'm new to all this and am looking for a complete integrated remote/home automation system.For example!Can I display a web address within the UI on say an iPhone? (for example streaming from an ip camera , or perhaps a realtime graph of temperature).I wish to use the raspberry pi for this ; how do I install/run on this platform (noob for sure! )

Thanks!Perhaps I should lower my expectations! I know it can function as a squeezebox and therefore that is effectively integrated within the ui (orbiter or media).How does camera streaming work on an orbiter? - is it just a web console effectively???

Currently I have a raspberry pi running as a MD (no AV yet). DCERouter *could* run on a pi, it would not handle media and orbiter regens would be painfully slow. I have not built any of the database requirements to run a pi as a core, nor have I worked out an installation path for a core on rpi as I do not see it as necessary. LMCE needs a beefier system as a core to properly operate.

Or, as hari says, look into agocontrol which is primarily home automation and is intended to run on lower power devices like the Raspberry Pi.

I successfully shot a Parallella Board on Kickstarter last year. Now I am awaiting this "Supercomputer on a creditcard" to be delivered.Within this year they want to get the Board with 90 GFLOPs ready to ship for about $299.This would be enough power for a whole LinuxMCE - Center on a creditcard-size - device.Could this bright future be reason to keep on porting LinMCE to ARM ?

Raspian boots up fine, but nothing special happens, it does dhcp and get the expected IP for the RPi MD I created, but it doesn't netboot in any way and after it gets on the network it just drops me in a local shell....
